i intend to enter community college, probably in Seattle. I wonder whether community college is a good choice or not and whether it is transferable to universities in all states or not ?... anyone knows more information on this ?

A public accreditted community college most likely has transferable course. But it's up to the individual university.

Community colleges are two year colleges. The credits usually completely transfer to any accredited college in the same state. They do not automatically transfer to out-of-state schools. After attending a community college successfully for two years, a person receives and Associates Degree from the college. This is a two year degree and is recognized by agencies who hire new graduates. If a graduate decides to continue in school, he or she would transfer to a four year college in the same state where a four year degree would be awarded upon the completion of two more years in a chosen field (major area of study). Some states now offer full scholarships to community colleges to qualified applicants. Florida just passed this law. The best way to get information is to contact the Guidance Department at the school of interest. Good Luck.

Community College classes transfer to pretty much any other college. If you are transferring from one college to another, there's always a chance that they won't accept all of your credits, no matter where you transfer from.
Try contacting your community college... Many times, they have articulation agreements with other colleges and universities, which means that those universities will take all of your credits.
I've also included a link below to the Seattle Community college website, which has links to all campuses; North, South, Central and SVI. I hope this helps!

Community college,,, check to see if it is an accredited college and the courses you take are credit courses those will count 9times out of 10 if you go to school somewhere else. Those are MUCH CHEAPER then universities and nicer if you want to go slower or work full time while you are in school.

comunity college is a college that pretty much accepts anyone... you have to take a placement test to know which classes you should be placed in.. It's a good way to start... It is transferable, but you have to research which credits certain universities require you to have to be accepted... Plus it's cheaper, so i would definately recommend going to a community college first, and transfer to a university
